Peter Weaver
Father Daniel Weaver
Birth 22 Sep 1772 VA
A data collection reports that Peter Weaver married Rachel Glazing in 1800.
Family Data Collection - Marriages
Peter Weaver
Spouse Rachel Glazener
Marriage 1800
But in the 1800 census, they are reported with two children already, so it appears the marriage was at least as early as 1798. One genealogy (see below) reports that there was an earlier wife, whose name is not known, whom Peter married in 1898.
But the marriage date they have for Rachel and Peter is 1808, not 1800 as the record I found. This first wife is a way of accounting for the two children in 1800, consistent with marriage to Rachel in 1800.

Peter married his second wife, named in genealogies as Elizabeth Porter, sometime after the death of his first wife Rachel in 1827. I have not found a record of the date of Peter and Elizabeth's marriage; only the state is reported in the following record transcribed by Ancestry.

In 1850, Peter is recorded in the 1850 census, taken in September after he died in June of that year. His wife Elizabeth is reported as a widow.

Peter's will indicates his wife's name was Elizabeth. This would be his second wife, after the death of the mother of his children from Rachel Glazener. However, his death is reported as 12 June 1850 and the probation of his will as 1 July 1850. And the census above, from September 1850, reports him as a residence. I think this accounted for by the fact that, though the enumeration of this area actually did not occur until September (as was the case in many areas), the census date was 1 June.
The record then should show the living members of the household on the census date, accounting for Peter's inclusion here (P Weaver). However, note that he is not shown as head of the household, and Elizabeth is reported as a Widow. This appears to represent the facts as of the actual date the enumerator visited their home, and probably also why Peter was not listed until all the (then living) members of the household had been listed.
Several genealogies have additional information, but give no sources. Only one genealogy I have found, Roots and Branches, has Elizabeth's maiden name, Porter.
Several details are provided that appear to be from family sources, but no sources or documentation at all is given in this genealogy. This genealogy says Elizabeth died about 1856. One or more others says it was about 1859. I have found no death record. This is also the only source that has the middle initial W for Peter.
This Roots and Branches genealogy also reports an unknown first wife before Rachel Glazener, with no details. The date of 1878 appears to be correct for the first marriage, as noted in the comments above on the 1800 census, where two children are already reported in 1800. But the only marriage record for Rachel Glazener says the marriage occurs in 1800 (which also cannot be right). Perhaps Ancestry's transcription of the date as 1800 is incorrect. I have seen no image of the original record. No indication is given of a source for the idea of the first wife before Rachel.
